Details

This book reassesses the relationship between human dignity, law and specifically the ‘personalist’ school of agency.

The work argues that a specific way of appreciating dignity is contained in how law understands the person, and so can be used to improve upon how we explain and interpret the law. Despite considerable differences between jurisdictions as regards human dignity in application, it is argued that the particular weight of human persons is the widely shared focal point. The central claim therefore is that the law recognizes, and tries to foster, the status of personhood, and, drawing on the work of Karol Wojtyła, the author develops a `Status of Personhood Theory’.

The book will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of Legal Philosophy, Jurisprudence, Philosophy, Ethics and Political Theory.
